So i just made my first mead. Heated 12 lbs of honey @ 145 for 15 minutes and topped it up for a total of 5 gallons of added water. Took a gravity reading and its 1.063. Also added 3lb of blueberry puree...went to 1.067. Seems awful low. Does that sound right? Did I add too much water?

I'll be adding 8 lbs of fruit in the secondary, so maybe it'll pick up some gravity points there?

Well I ended up with close to 6 gallons total, so it might be possible I added too much water. In retrospect I should have taken a gravity reading before I topped up with the last 2 gallons of water. I didn't take into account that 12 lbs of honey would add volume of its own
